Each May the Tunica-Biloxi Tribe of Louisiana hosts its Pow Wow—the annual celebration of Native American culture that brings dancers, musicians, and artists representing Indian nations from all parts of the United States and Canada to the Earl J. Barbry, Sr. Convention Center at Paragon Casino Resort in Marksville. Pow Wow spectators come to experience the “old ways” and to get a glimpse of ancient traditions as artists, musicians, and dancers gather in traditional regalia to celebrate thousands of years of cultural heritage. A packed agenda offers drumming and dancing demonstrations, gourd dancing, and the telling of traditional stories and songs. The event will feature vendors selling Native American-inspired food and crafts. Doors at 10 am both days. $5 adults, $3 children five and under. tunicapowwow.org.
